Testing this thing out

Ah, the millennial experience of “every time you get some measure of financial and career stability, the world decides to do something extraordinarily stupid again”

When the Patriot Act was passed, libraries got requests for patrons’ borrowing history. We were prohibited from disclosing those requests. We deleted and shredded those records and stopped tracking reading history for that reason. ALSO.

Preprints are scientist-controlled communication that get information out to fellow researchers and the public fast. Absolutely critical in times of crisis and a normal part of science otherwise.

in retrospect I think it may have been a mistake to make the work machine and the procrastination machine be the same machine

"Everyone wants to save the world, but no one wants to help Mom do the dishes." Gonna sit with this for a while.

Rewatched the TWIN PEAKS pilot last night, perhaps starting a full classic rewatch.

“Jack, put on some music while the family opens gifts.” “No problem.” *** Turns on Yacht Rock station and cranks volume*** 🎶 I keep forgetting’…🎶

All of ATB’s books are good, and I can especially recommend Journey of the Living Dead for zombie movie fans.

If you and your family want to avoid any conversations the Trump dance may trigger during Thanksgiving football games, might I suggest gathering the family and watching “The Coffee Table” together instead

I just bought some gaff tape and a plantain. I’m about to be rich!

If Trump's first administration was stocked with Bond Villains, it seems like the second one is going with more of a Legion of Doom vibe. A brief thread...
